hi i was looking a lot of threads but i couldn't find any good thread about this , i just came from windows mobile to android, so maybe is that stupid question for other user which uses android for a longer period of time , but is there a way to move any aps to external card not to sd card ? I installed some navigation software and a few games and a few other apps , and now my sd is full and i cant install any new apps. I have 32 gb external card but it's not really useful if you can't install stuff on external card ...

you are not wrong..this is how it works with the froyo 2.2.2 versions stock or custom...
if you want to have your games and maps working from external then you have to try CM nightly rom...!and your 32gb will be your primary memory and games and maps will work from there..

Hello,
I tried to use Directory Bind, but when my internal memory was about 9GB free and I had moved about those 9GB to external SD, I cant anything install to internal memory(it is necessary first to move it with directory bind).
So the result was, that all moved games and applications were in internal memory despite the phone shows me 9GB of internal memory.
So, my question and big problem is:
How can I move games and apps to external SD card?
Have you some method, have can I done it?
Would be very grateful.

You can use the app of "GL to SD" found in the market, it can help you to move the game data (not apps) from internal memory to external sd card. The theory of this app is used to simulate the external sd card act as a internal memory card, thus, you need to activate this app before playing the game that you moved. Importantly, a rooted device is required.
the stupidity of LG it not use the external sdcard option that provide by android
event we force it to use that option in console mode using
pm set_install_location
that stupid LG still install the app/game in internal sdcard

The app covers not only gameloft games, but also include of games manufactured by others. In the setup menu, you should tick the boxes of "sdcard/android" and " sdcard/data' under the item of "Add mounted folder". After exit the setup menu, click the " move the data" box and select which game you want to move to sd card. Finally, activate the game.

My friend with 4X had the same issue.

Could you have possibly missed a step in making DirectoryBind work?
The post above about GL to SD might be the only way then, though it's such a hassle to have to activate it each time you'll run an app with data stored in external SD.
Maybe its possible that I made some step wrong, but everything works fine until the 9GB amount of data moved to external SD card with 9GB free in internal memory.
It looks certainly like a problem with binding from internal memory to external SD card and I must had to do a factory reset.
A friend of mine with Optimus 4X started to use Directory Bind too, but had the same issue as me.
I never gave him a solution to use Directory Bind, so theres probably problem with compatibility...
Of course, I would be very appreciated for help how to use properly Directory Bind on Optimus 4x, because is so simple and comfort...

Where can I finally activate the game?
I cant see the option anywhere in the program.

In the app, you can press the android LED menu button at the lower right-hand corner, then you will see the setup menu.
After the step of moving data and exit the setup menu, you will also see the list of the game that you moved before, then you can activate the game.

Just want to clarify something. Did you mean earlier that every time you want to open an app that has the data stored in external micro sd, you'll have to activate GL to SD first?

Activate the GL to SD means that the external sd card is mounted into internal memory card, thus, you just activate a game that you moved before in first time, then the other games are not necessary to activate in next time until if you unmount the external sd card by means of GL to SD.

Oh I get it. So this is a better and simpler solution compared to DirectoryBind then?

I can't compare which one is better because I have never used the method of DirectoryBind before. But for me, GL to SD was really useful when I used LG Optimus 2x which had only 5GB internal storage. SD Card can share the heavy load from the internal memory.
what our internal partition is it ext3 or ext 4 because i want to partition my sd card

I have external SD formatted to FAT32 and GL to SD just now really works for me :good:
Some games you cannot move, but the most of them you can move.
Then you must games starting through the GL to SD app, because they are moved to external SD.
Im taking all back.
This application doesnt work properly on my Optimus 4X.
You can move everything on your external SD card, but it will take up same amount of space in your internal memory as on your external SD card memory.
So, its the same issue as with Directory Bind
Maybe Im doing something wrong? I have all of my external SD card formatted to FAT32.

I think you need to reset your device, I haven't your problem in 4x and previous phone 2x up to now.
Hi,
I want to know if there if an app to scan the SD Scan in the RAZR i.
The main problem is that the actual apps in google play only scans "mnt/sdcard", but in the RAZR i the SD card is in "mnt/external1".
So, there is an app that scans "mnt/external1"?
Thanks in advance
Have you tried the app Link2SD? You can move your aplivativos for the card.
I think it would be ideal to install your apps on the phone memory because it has 8GB.

I will try that app. Thanks!
Well, it has like 4 Gb available. So I bought a OCZ Class 10 32 GB SD Card.
The main problem for me is when I delete some mp3 or apk from that SD Card via File Manager. The files "disappear", but they still appears in the default gallery o google player. Only after I restart the phone, the files completely dissapears.
Not working.
I forget to say that my phone is not rooted.
And for what I saw about that app, I don't want to move the files. Only that mnt/external1 gen scaned!
hi guys mi SP data not recognize the games that are on the SD card because it only recognizes the internal memory how fix this?

Please use search before you post (there are already many posts about this asked before, including mine )
zolaisugly suggested to me to use FolderMount to move folders to the external SD card.
You can "mount" specific folders to make the phone think it is on the internal SD but in fact it is actually on the external one.
It is a great app, you should try it! Thank zolaisugly for this suggestion.
Alternatively, if you want to swap the SD cards completely (which is not as smart as the suggestion zolaisugly gave), you can use this by ivan-68.
Cheers!

How did you use directory bind on sp? It didnt seem to work on mine. Folder mount does work, but i dont have account to go premium yet. Vold.fstab failed, maybe FUSE doing funny business with it.
